Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 84 Escape
Going back in time, when Qin Feng was still at the banquet, Wei Xi woke up on the hard, dry mud.

Wei Xi's shoulders and neck still ached. Her face was pressed to the ground, her hands were tied behind her back, and her feet were unable to move. Lying on the ground, Wei Xi couldn't see her feet, and with her limited vision, she couldn't see the whole room.

This time he was really in trouble. Wei Xi felt that his feet were still there, so he must have been tied up.

Wei Xi breathed a sigh of relief and tried to raise her upper body like a seal. Only then did she see clearly that she was locked in a warehouse where miscellaneous items were stored. There was no light in the room, so she could only see the irregular outlines of those items.

Wei Xi struggled to move his lower limbs, coordinating all his muscles to turn over. It took a tremendous effort, leaving him with a mouthful of dust. Exhausted and sweating, Wei Xi struggled for a moment like a fish caught on land, then, somewhat exhausted, relived his old dream in the mud.

After taking a few breaths, Wei Xi changed her position, giving up the idea of lifting her upper body to turn over. She tried twice and finally turned over to her front. Using her hands tied behind her back for support, Wei Xi sat up. She leaned over to some unknown debris nearby and found a sharp spot to grind the rope.

After freeing his hands, Wei Xi quickly untied the ropes on his feet, and then touched his clothes. Lingyin lay on the Qiankun bag pretending to be dead. It seemed that the person who knocked him out did not search him.

There were a tinderbox and a dagger in the Qiankun bag. With the help of the dim light, Wei Xi could see clearly that this was indeed a warehouse where few people came. There was a thick layer of dust on the surrounding debris and the ground.

Seeing the drag marks on the ground, Wei Xi thought that this person brought him here to clean up and dragged him in. There was not a single shoe print on the ground, it was all covered up.

Wei Xi touched his shoulder and neck. The man's attack was so fast that Wei Xi was knocked unconscious before he could even resist. He seemed to be an old hand. But he didn't know why he knocked Wei Xi unconscious and why he locked himself in such a storage room.

After all, if the county government was in a big place, they could just throw Wei Xi into the gloomy dungeon that Lian Gouqie had described, or into the pen where ferocious beasts that had been starving for days were locked up. In short, there would be a place to try and imprison people. At worst, there would be a small courtyard with high walls like Sun Ji's, which shouldn't be a warehouse.

Thinking about it this way, the person who knocked me unconscious must not be in the same group as the county magistrate, or this person must have his own plans.

After regaining some sense of control, Wei Xi took a deep breath, touched Lingyin soothingly, and grasped the dagger to find a way out.

Wei Xi didn't know how long he had been unconscious. Qin Feng and Lian Gouye were still waiting for him, and he absolutely couldn't be trapped here.

Before the tinderbox went out, Wei Xi found the door and prepared to stab anyone who might be outside with a dagger. Wei Xi opened the door.

There were not many people outside, only a moon hanging in the sky, waiting for the night fog of Tangkou Town to cover the sky's attention.

Finally, I could see things clearly. It turned out that this was a warehouse and I had been locked in a side room before.

Wei Xi could only adapt to the situation as it changed. She was not sure whether she would meet any guards guarding the warehouse when she went out. After all, she was not Qin Feng, Lian Gou Xie or the mysterious man who liked to clean for others. It was difficult for her to leave here quietly.

Besides, it is too late to look for the Hu people now, and it is unrealistic to meet with Qin Feng as originally planned.

Wei Xi chose to take the initiative to open up the situation.

In simple terms, Wei Xi, who was stunned and full of anger, was about to fight back.

Wei Xi went back to the storage room and dug out half a jar of wine that smelled bad. He gathered some rags, poured the wine on the cloth, and placed it near flammable objects.

After finishing the preparations, Wei Xi showed her the arson technique. Before that, Zhao Dazui curiously asked her why she didn't practice the more aggressive fireball.

Wei Xi didn't say anything at that time, but now she wants to answer with actions.

Five or six flames fell on the combustible materials prepared by Wei Xi. The wine might have been thrown into the storage room and ignored because of its bad taste and pungent smell, but this wine was really good at helping combustion.

As soon as they touched the wall, the flames grew into tongues of fire, spreading with a roar. Master Wei glanced at his masterpiece with satisfaction, preparing to take advantage of the chaos to climb the wall and leave. Soon, the county yamen staff saw the fire and shouted. Qin Feng, who was still looking for Wei Xi outside, and Lian Gou Xie, who was still playing mad in the hall, were not surprised and thought: Why is this girl going to such a big deal?
Wei Xi's idea was quite simple. Since I couldn't sneak in honestly tonight, I would lure you all here.

After all, it's on fire. No matter whether you are a Hu person, a county magistrate or the person who knocked him out, they will all fly out like bees whose nest has been disturbed, right?

By the way, I can also tell Qin Feng and Lian Gouqie that I am here.

Wei Xi heard the shouts of a fire and the increasingly noisy sounds, so he took out the flying claw that had not been confiscated and left the warehouse.

Paying attention to the movements and figures around her, Wei XZ hid herself. She hoped that the group of Hu people would also be driven out by the fire so that she could take advantage of the situation and see if she could find out some information.

Soldiers, guards, and servants from the county government came over with buckets, wooden basins, and anything else that could hold water to put out the fire.

Wei Xi hadn't noticed any Hu people yet, but now she realized something was wrong: the county government office was on fire, but why didn't any townspeople come to help put out the fire?

Thinking of this, Wei Xi rubbed her eyes, but she didn't see any townspeople coming to help put out the fire.

The county government office was located in the heart of Tangkou Town. How could they not see the flames at night? Furthermore, Wei Xi remembered clearly that there were many alleys around it. How could no one have entered?

Wei Xi, who was close to the fire scene, had a lot of questions in her mind. Because of the high temperature, the air around her was scorching hot, and the humid night fog had to temporarily avoid the edge and lurk on the edge of the fire.

Fortunately, at this time, Qin Feng appeared in Wei Xi's sight.

Wei Xi pulled out Lingyin and told it to fly over to find Qin Feng. This allowed Qin Feng to see Wei Xi hiding in the shadows behind the trees. The trees and the night obscured her view, making it difficult to see the two eyes hidden within.

The area was in chaos. Qin Feng, who knew the location, easily found Wei Xi's hiding place.

When I got closer, I saw that Wei Xi's face and clothes were dirty, and I could smell the smell of alcohol.

Now Qin Feng was sure that it was Wei Xifang who did this.

I just don’t know how Wei Xi got himself into this state.

Wei Xi asked Qin Feng in a low voice, "Are you from Lian Gouye?"

"When I came out to look for you, he stayed inside to deal with County Magistrate Cheng and the others. He should be safe now. I just don't know if he can guess that it was you who set the fire." Wei Xi and the other two agreed that they should withdraw at the latest at 3:15 PM and not to fight to the end. With this agreement, there was no need to worry too much about Lian Gou'e's safety.

"Why are you still staying here?" Qin Feng asked.

Wei Xi told her that she should not miss this opportunity and take advantage of the fire to see if there were any Hu people among the people coming out. After tonight, it would probably be impossible to enter the county government office.

Hearing that Wei Xi had not given up on finding out about the Hu people, Qin Feng perked up and went with her to look for familiar faces.

Two Hu people were actually found in the crowd, but they were not the one who had a night conversation with County Magistrate Cheng, but two inconspicuous people in the team.
